  • I'm not really, which I guess is the problem. LinkedIn is handy to follow people in my industry (particularly locally) as they will post things of relevance. But I kinda have to sort through all the wank, and 'here's my totally original take on what chatgpt means for us - in 23 slides of empty bullshit'. Twitter was good to a degree, but it's such a negative space and many people I followed left as things started to go bad.

    I think the medium in which I consume this information is the key thing for me - I'm happy to read long articles and opinion pieces, but I need something I can easily scroll through on my phone.

    Memes are fun and all but I'm pretty sure my brain is atrophying.

  • Yep, 'I'm Steve', 'Steve? hi Steve, nice to meet you' is exactly what I do and it helps.

  • Google Play rewards are great. Every day I go to the gym. Google asks me afterwards if I went to the pet store next door. I say no. They give me 10c.

    It's hard work, but it does help me pay for the good things in life like apps.

  • This poses an interesting question to me. I've read so many books and consumed so much media that makes the great assumption that all people can be seduced, or have casual sex with someone they find attractive. It never really occurred to me (given I've only really recently identified that demi is what I am) that this is the perceived norm.

    Most of my friends really enjoyed casual sex and flings, and given all the fiction I've consumed reiterated their experience, I just assumed I was the oddity.

    Thanks for the realisation OP!

  • See if you can explain the content of your comment.

  • My nephew was straight up adorable from the moment he was born. People doted on him left and right. He was a personable, polite little boy (beyond his years so it stood out) and wait staff etc would take time to say hello, compliment his parents and maybe give him a treat.

    Then he got that little bit older and his baby brother was born. The attention shifted away from him. You could see him try to interact with people in the same way, and when he didn't get the same reaction a little light left his eyes. Don't get me wrong, he's a great little teenager now and it hasn't affected him. But there was a short period of time where he was a sweet little innocent and the world rewarded him for it. The rewards go away, and sometimes without them I think the child stops exhibiting the behaviour.

    Interesting thought op.

    Edit for typos

  • It's the back swipe and the collapse, isn't it! This is pretty good in the meantime so fair dos to the developer of Connect.

    But sync was sooo good. Can't wait.

  • I can't stop laughing at this.

    The sunnies really make it.
